==== Notable Landmarks ====
* Tate’s Hell Estuary – The flooding of the Ochlockonee River created a massive estuary flowing all the way to Lake Talquin, which became a brackish inland sea after Hurricane Desiree breached it in 2063. Initially a total ecological devastation, it eventually became a surprisingly flourishing new ecosystem. The entire area was renamed the Tate’s Hell Estuary (after the Tate’s Hell State Forest), as that was deemed to possess the right kind of piquant charm to attract the eco-tourists. The entire area was bought up from the Park Service and seeded with flood refugees paid to live in ‘charming’ little shacks near the water for local flavor.  
* The St. Marks’ Islands – St. Marks was once a beautiful Gulf Coast preserve south of Tallahassee, but was rendered impassable in the wake of Hurricane Desiree. However, the sparsely-settled stretch of land between it and the city had a fair bit of elevation change, and what has been left untouched by the Gulf is a string of countless islands, spared by chance. Some are little oases of the old coastal forest, hung with Spanish moss and windblown oaks. Some are historical ruins from the few older settlements in the area. And… some are rusted-out laundromats. Exploration of these shallow seas is a common pastime for tourists, the most adventurous of which might sail as far as St. Marks’ Lighthouse to see its ruined spire emerge from the water.
